The future of the wearables market relies on video stabilisation technology
Summary
Even the slightest twitch of an arm or nod of a head will render an unfocused video image when captured by a watch or pair of glasses. Users won’t want to take off their watch or glasses to finetune an image, nor do they want those extra features to impact the size, cosmetics, or comfort of the wearable. A similar situation unfolds when smart glasses are used to capture and stream live video, be it for personal enjoyment, business presentations, or remote, virtual assistance. Soon, however, as manufacturers begin to weave video stabilisation technologies into wearable devices, smart watches and glasses will have a much broader use case. The proliferation of Zoom, FaceTime and other videotelephony platforms has made the key to success for burgeoning markets like wearables clear.
